Last I heard from Omix was they'd hoped to be available in the next few weeks. I figure it's going to be more like after the first of the year.
Here's some additional info I got about the bumper system:
Here's some additional info I got about the bumper system:
Thickness dimensions on the XHD Center Section are as follows:
Core and outer arms are 4.25mm thick (thicker than 1/8”) more like 1/6”, textured black powder coated steel.
The winch mounting plate and supports are 6.35mm or ½” thick.
This bumper is designed to accept any standard bottom mount winch, including the Warn Dual Force Power Plant (over rider tube attachment will not fit with Dual Force winch).
The bumper is designed to accept the OE fog/running lights and is pre-studded for them. I am not aware of any aftermarket light that has this same setup, so I cannot recommend anything else. However, you may find that your Jeep is pre-wired for the OE lights and therefore you could add these lights from the dealer if you so desire. You may actually be able to find them as ‘take-offs’ from a local shop or on e-bay or even on the forums. Anyone who has replaced their factory bumper on the JK typically disposes of the original bumper.

I got my side rails for them. I was the "test" jeep. Yes they plan to start shipping end of this month begining of next with the release of the rock rails.
Yes you can use STOCK fog lights and it will fit the SuperWinch also. let me know if you want any other info. I talk to the guy normally (wheels with my club) who got me involved on the side rails
